Srinagar: People on Wednesday locked
a primary school at a village in Handwara area of north-Kashmir’s Kupwara
district.
Reports reaching GNS said that dozens of villagers
including parents of children, who are studying at Government Primary school at
Tantary-Gund Mawar village in Handwara, staged a strong protest demonstration
against the lack of teaching faculty in the school.
“Around 58 students are enrolled in the school, only two
ReT teachers attend them regularly”, the aggrieved parents told GNS, adding
that the authorities have posted six teachers out of which four have been
deployed in the different institutions for election purposes.
The parents lashed out at the authorities for playing
with the career of their wards. Instead of getting education, they said, their
wards are being forced to pass time.
Meanwhile, locals complained that due to the ongoing
process of getting ‘Adhaar’ card in the district, authorities are keeping the
educational institutions closed, which usually results in the loss of precious
time for students.
Despite repeated attempts made, Director Education
Kashmir could not be contacted for comments. (GNS)
